Sea of Thieves' Kraken Versus Megalodon Is a Pirate Nightmare

A Sea of Thieves player captured a once in a lifetime moment straight of a pirate nightmare.

Reddit user ClawofChaos was sailing with his crew when the unthinkable happened… his crew was attacked by the Megalodon AND the Kraken at the same time. While it’s not unusual to find yourself wrapped up in the slimy embrace of the Kraken, or hunted by the angry mega shark on the Sea of Thieves, the coordinated sea-monster Blitzkrieg is incredibly rare.

But it gets weirder. Turns out the two monsters don’t have much love for one another either. In the above clip, there’s an insane moment where the Megalodon moves in to ram the ship just as the Kraken slams its tentacle over the deck and… effectively punches the shark in the face.

“We'd just finished a skull fort and were about to make port at Sanctuary Outpost,” ClawofChaos said when we reached out to find out how this happened. “Funnily enough we'd just spent the last 5 minutes talking about the Kraken attacking you when you got close to an outpost with Skull Fort loot.”

The whole scene is an insanely rare moment that needed so many mechanics to come together, with just the right timing and positioning, that I’m not sure we’ll ever see it again. And I think my favorite part of the video is right after the sucker punch, when he looks left then right multiple times as if in disbelief. Chef kiss.

Of course stories like these are what makes Sea of Thieves so good. For all the criticisms about the game during its launch period, there’s a very real sense that anything could kind of happen. And this certainly proves it.
